David : Many American movies center around these movie stars. Do you have any thoughts about these kinds of American movies? 許多美國影片的賣點(diǎn)就是這些明星。你對(duì)這類美國電影有什么看法?
You :I think these American movies do not reflect real life. They may be inventive or well-produced, and they may have famous stars and handsome actors, but the stories are so far from reality that they are not instructive or meaningful. 我覺得美國電影不反映現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。盡管美國電影構(gòu)思獨(dú)特,設(shè)計(jì)新穎,制作精細(xì),而且有很多偶像派的明星,但故事太脫離實(shí)際,沒有什么精神價(jià)值。
David : So maybe these movies are more about the action, but there’s no moral to the story. 也許這些電影更多的關(guān)注情節(jié),因而缺乏實(shí)際的社會(huì)意義。
You :Exactly! I couldn’t have put it better myself! 沒錯(cuò),我就是這個(gè)意思!
